Our Stem Cell Transplant Facilities

The child-friendly unit uses an advanced HEPA-filtering system, eliminating the need to confine patients to isolated rooms and encouraging social interaction with fellow patients and departmental staff, when possible. Patient rooms feature color-changing ceiling tiles, Internet access and personal entertainment centers to engage children during their stay. In addition, the unit features shared patient and family social areas to provide diversion beyond the bedside. Our patient rooms include:

Overnight accommodations for one adult family member,

a complimentary videophone, TV and VCR, a Playstation 2/DVD player, CD player and a computer with Internet access and

a phone with unlimited, free incoming calls, as well as personal storage space.

Additionally, we encourage children to personalize their space with decorations, cards and posters.

Children undergoing stem cell transplantation are confined to the unit until they are engrafted and show no signs of illness. To make this period as easy as possible, the following accommodations are provided:

A kitchen with separate refrigerators to allow you to store parent and patient food. We provide patient drinks and snacks. In addition, we host one complimentary breakfast each week for all patients and family members on the unit and a weekly "treat train" with snacks.
